My father, Yefim Somin, has posted this interesting memoir of our visit with leaders of the thousand year old Jewish community of Kaifeng, China. We went there during my time as a visiting professor at Zhenghzhou University last summer, which I blogged about here and here.

Ilya Somin is Professor of Law at George Mason University, and author of Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom and Democracy and Political Ignorance: Why Smaller Government is Smarter.
